How to fertilize Poet's Narcissus
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Poet's Narcissus after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

How do I transfer these guys outside? It’s still winter here and my bulbs have tons of roots. They have bloomed and are dying off. What do I need to do to make sure I can plant them outside in spring and when can I do it? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #OutdoorGrowing #

Heyyy plant family 🪴!! I planted some daffodil and tulip bulbs in late September of 2022 and now it’s almost March 🗓️ (woohoo 2023) My first daffodil has finally bloomed and she’s stunning 🤩!! The only thing I’m worried about is she’s the only flower to bloom so far ( all the stems for the daffodils have come up ) and all the daffodils in my neighborhood have already bloomed 🤔 I was wondering if this is normal and if tulips 🌷 are supposed to come in later?? Love to you all and thanks 😊

There’s very little green leaves left on my paper white. Knowing that they are from a bulb, will they make a comeback soon or do they only flower once a year? #Paperwhite
